War With Words
Welcome to the second installment of Indie Arcade! This time I played a charming 2D strategy game called "Bite Me".
Premise
 | The premise is easy enough, You are trapped in the grip of a giant, and he is just about ready to eat you. Using your gift of gab you need to convince him that eating you is a bad idea. You avoid death by choosing from a selection of replies (multiple choice style). The Giant responds to your choices, either bringing you closer to the jaws of defeat or lowering you to your escape. |
Art and Design
The art style is what I would describe as retro and clean. The trees, and the ground are subtlety detailed, the art is charming and the animations are simple. The giant reminds me a friend I used to know back in college, which made some his in game comments more hilarious.
I found the music of this game to be another highlight. I actually really enjoyed the track that plays as you try and avoid being eaten.
The game is mostly dialogue boxes and multiple choices. The writing is witty and at times can be very amusing. Unfortunately, I don't want to spoil this game, so this means you are going to have to play the game yourself.

Jack the Giant Debater
Bite Me is an interesting game with a strange premise, overall it has charming writing, music and art. It is however a short game that can be completed very quickly. I still would recommend that you give this game a try, especially if you are a fan or witty writing and giants that wear plaid.
